Beach! Sunday Recap

Ahhhhh...the first full day at the beach. The day we actually put our feet in the sand. :) The day I realize that there was absolutely NO reason for me to bring the flat iron to the beach. The day didn't go exactly as I thought it would, but it was still good. :)

We got up and had breakfast. I am not a breakfast person. I don't even like breakfast. But I eat it at the beach. As a matter of fact, I've eaten six meals since I left home yesterday. That's like half a week's worth of food when I'm home alone!!! Anyway, I had Lucky Charms for breakfast. Because I'm 4, apparently. :)

After breakfast, we got ready for the beach. Brenna let me fix her hair. Her very first pigtails. I loved them. She liked them too. :)



We headed down to the beach. Colin headed straight for the ocean. Brenna stopped to play in the sand and then she walked down to the water with me.



She loved the water. She played and played. It was super hot on the beach today. We stayed for almost 2 hours. Then it was time to pack it in. We came back to the house, cooled off, and had lunch. Brenna also let me paint her toenails. SO cute. She sat so still while I did it.

While I was resting after lunch, I decided I'd see if I could get my computer fixed. Yesterday it decided it didn't want to be a computer anymore. It decided to be a black screen machine instead. Fail. So after I finally found the Dell support number using my Blackberry, I called tech support. And I waited. And waited. 20 minutes. The automated woman kept telling me to try support.dell.com. Um...the computer is BROKEN!! How am I supposed to do that? UGH. After about 20 minutes, the call just ended. No more call. >:( So I called back. And waited. And waited. And waited. FINALLY, some dude, who I can only assume was somewhere in India, came on the line asking me about my problem. About an hour later, my computer was functional again. Yay!

While I was on the phone with people far far away, Brenna and Meredith fell asleep. Colin and Corey went to the indoor pool. No pool time for Steppy today. Oh well. I'll go tomorrow. :)

Tonight, we went to Broadway at the Beach for dinner. It started raining on the way there. We went to Yamato Japanese Steakhouse. We waited for a really long time (Ok, maybe it was only 40 minutes or so, but that was a long time when a-we were hungry, and b-the children weren't particularly happy.), but it was worth the wait. The food was SO good. I had steak and chicken. It came with soup and salad (Colin ate mine), veggies, fried rice, and sherbet (Brenna ate most of mine). Brenna liked the big fire on the table and Colin ate with chopsticks.



After dinner, we went to Build-A-Bear. Colin adopted a black bear named Caves and Brenna adopted a very soft pink bear named Berry. After all of the animal adopting, we were tired and it was late, so we headed back to the beach house.

We'll be hitting the beach again early in the morning, weather permitting! I'll definitely be going to the pool tomorrow too! :)
